Should you Buy? - Lord Ealdwin (Level 150) Lux Shop

Wow! You're level 150! I bet you're wondering what "Should you Buy?" Read this post and I'll tell you all about the Lord Ealdwin level 150 luxury shop! I'll be diving into the items, looking at the stats, and letting you know if you should bother picking up these items.

The list of gear is so long, I'm putting it at the bottom of the post, so scroll down if you want to see the full list with item stats.

Offhand Weapons - Should you buy? Yes absolutely!

There is something for everyone in this lux shop. While you could skip the last shop and get by with your golden blade, this one is necessary to upgrade your offhand.

Warrior/Rogue - Get an axe. Doesn't matter what kind really.

Rogues can get a dagger as an alternative if you're dex based, but in my opinion the axe is better and has a better resale value.

Ranger - Either type of quiver

There is a lot of debate as to which one is better.

The quiver of the wild has a better resale value, and is ideal if you always haste

Quiver of the Wind is good if you don't want to buy a hate ring, and are str based, which at this level you should be.

Mage/Druid - Focus of the Mystic

Shields and Armour - Should you buy? Maybe, if...

...you're a druid, mage or tank warrior an you can't make do with quest armor.

Druid/Mage - Crown of the Sorcerer is a good buy, but you can get by with your quest armor, or the (ancient) beastbone armor that you may have by now. So you don't necissarily need it.

Tank Warrior - If you're tanking stuff at this level, you're probably going to need a Shield of the Bastion. But my preference is to let the higher level characters do the tanking, and just level up with the offhand axe you should have bought. Besides, you'll be getting your Dragonlord Shield soon if your clan is able to get it for you.

Rogues and Rangers can do without buying armor here.

Jewellery - Should you buy? Yes, if your clan didn't gear you.

You should be replacing your amulet at this point, if you haven't bought a Kron or Jalan set on auction, or if you have a Halloween boss necklace. You should buy:

Warrior, Rogue, Ranger - Amulet of Annihilation

Mage, Druid - Talisman of the Stars

I've seen some people buy rings here before, and I consider this to be a mistake. Get your rings from the Otherworld to buff up your skills. If you need rings that buff your stats instead, try to get to level 160 and pick up a Necromancer ring from your clan bank.

I'd also skip the bracelets and stick with your aggy bracelets instead of buying any of these.
